Als-Ganzes-abgespeicherte vs. kombinatorisch-zusammengesetzte Konstruktionen: ein biolinguistischer Ansatz zur Unterscheidung kombinatorischer Schemata und lexikalischer Einträge
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
This project addressed the mechanisms of construction and combination at the biolinguistic experimental level. By comparing behavioural and brain responses to acceptable and unacceptable constructions – including complex words, phrases and sentences – we obtained clues about their status as either whole-form-stored and -retrieved ‘unitary constructions (UCs)’ or as flexibly-assembled ‘combinatorial schemas (CSs)’. In addition, the influence of semantic and combinatorial properties on construction status was explored. We found brain-physiological pattern indicating a UC status of derived nouns and particle verbs, even in their dissociated, discontinuous form. Brain signatures of UC and CS processing interacted at early latencies, thus supporting interactive psycholinguistic models. Whereas no influence of semantic factors on construction status was found, the mutual information between discontinuous particle verb combinations was reflected in neurophysiology. Applications for the neurophysiological measured exploited in this work could be shown in the rehabilitation of post-stroke aphasia, where a construction processing index reflected the degree of language recovery of these neurological patients, and in individuals learning a second, foreign language, where a construction processing index correlated with the level of grammar proficiency.
